These Snickers-inspired cakes are a delicious mix of moist chocolate cake, gooey caramel, crunchy roasted peanuts, and a silky dark chocolate shell. Perfectly portioned and rich in texture, they’re everything you love about the classic candy—only better.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners or prepare silicone molds.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Gradually combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed.
  4. Pour batter into liners, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 16–18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. Slice cakes in half horizontally. Spread caramel and chopped peanuts between the layers, then sandwich back together.
  6. Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth. Dip cakes or spoon chocolate over each one.
  7. Sprinkle with more chopped peanuts and chill for 15 minutes to set.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a glossy finish.
  • Let cakes cool completely before assembling to avoid melting.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
